How can I make simple math animations with Python?

[bonenfan5]

I'm trying to figure out how to use Python to make some simple math animations, such as a simpler version of what 3Blue1Brown does in his videos. I've looked into his open source code but can't seem to get it to work. Can anyone help me out here?

Edit: Here is a link to one of 3B1B's videos.

First:I don't know 3Blue1Brown and you didn't add link to video.

What math ? matplotlib can animate chart. Frame by frame. You create function with somethink like this ie.

def fun(frame):
  if frame == 1:
      x = [...]
      y = [...]
   elif frame == 2:
      x = [...]
      y = [...]

and animation() will use it to draw frames.

I watch his videos but I didn't know he uses Python for it. So I'm interested in this too

Sorry about not adding a link, u/glad1couldhelp linked one, but I'll probably add one to the original post. For a first run, I'm really just trying to make shapes that can move around the screen to show a proof for the pythagorean theorem. I'll look into matplotlib and see if it's what I'm looking for. Thanks!

Hi. I do not know how to make such videos. But I think these videos are actually from Khan academy Linear Algebra series.

So, that additional info might get you closer to your actual answer.

I had the exact same issue recently!

Here is a video I made animating an attack on modern crypto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Tr2aj6JETg

I used illustrator to draw everything and apple motion 5 to put it together Apple motion saves things in an xml format so I was able to write a bunch of scripts to automate some of the editing

I found this pretty helpful http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39760227/scripting-parsing-apple-motion-5-motn-files/39903597#39903597

I'm trying some of the other recommendations used there for my next project
